Partially from inspiration reading about the Fallout meet ups, this plan aims to bring together different communities related to gaming, Half Life Battlefield Dodgeball Meet Up.
I heard a dodgeball world record event had over 6,000 people, so the following plan could be possible.
Imagine a dodgeball match with a set of rules inspired by the conquest game mode in the battlefield series, played by 6 factions with a Half Life theme, so you can picture an advertising video from the first event where you’d see many players potentially dressed up as Half Life factions; Resistance, Xen, The Combine, Aperture Science, Race X, and The Employers, running across the Italian hills shown in the image above (official location TBD) throwing dodgeballs.
CONQUEST DODGEBALL (official name TBD) -
6 teams per match
6 control points
12 acres playing area
100 people per team
600 people per match
Rough draft rules:
Only 1 ball per team and 4 refs per ball, with 1 of the 4 refs holding a camera.
Hitting a player eliminates them from that round, but a catch only awards ball possession.
Players must stay a certain amount of feet away from other players if they have the ball.
Control points could be disc golf goals which would be in a neutral zone where players can’t throw / dodge / catch in for safety reasons. After a point is scored, a 3 minute timer is set until another point can be scored at that location.
I made a related post which you can view on the link below which shows how we can make it all possible.
If successful, we can create multiple locations for the series to try to allow more people the chance to participate in the events.
Someone suggested posting about the Lemmy link above in some Reddit communities, but for some reason my account is getting an error, so I wasn’t sure if it was ok to ask if anyone wants to post it there, feel free to spread the word.
